- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the in-cab PTO switch.
- Ignition ON, test for 4.5 to 5.2 volts on the vehicle harness connector between the following terminals:
- 2 and ground
- 9 and ground
- 4 and ground
- 1 and ground
- If less than the specified range, disconnect the harness connector at the PTO module and test the failed signal circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the PTO switch.
- If greater than the specified range, test the failed signal circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, test or replace the PTO module.
